On the lab sessions
If a lab session is missed, or if the log is not delivered before deadline, the grade for that deliverable would be 0.0. The student will be responsible for notifying the reason of absence before the publication of the session grades. It is up to the lecturer to decide whether the provided reason constitutes proper justification.
In case one session is missed, and it is properly justified, the final lab grade will be computed using the remaining grades. If more than one session is missed, and all are properly justified, the student will be given de opportunity to carry out the lab work on another date, or, alternatively, deliver an essay that covers the contents of the relevant lab work.
A minimum grade of 4,0 points over 10 is required in the lab sessions to pass the course.
Final grade and requirements to pass the course in continuous evaluation
To
ensure that the student acquires the skills specified in the course plan a minimum grade is required in the following sections: - 4,0 points over 10 in the final exam grade, and
- 4,0 points over 10 in the lab sessions grade.
The
student will pass the course if, having complied with the requirements above, the calculation of the continuous evaluation grade (CEG) is equal
or higher than 5,0 points over 10. Failing to comply with the requirements, the CEG cannot be greater than 4,0. If a student does no pass the course in the continuous evaluation modality, he/she will have to attend the regular exam. Students may decide to attend the regular exam to improve their grade.
Regular exam
The regular examination grade (REG) uses the same weights as in continuous evaluation: 80% for the theory and 20% for lab sessions.
It will consist of a single written exam, that will cover all the course curriculum,
both theory and practical. The exam will have a duration of 3
hours, and can take the form of a multiple-choice test, a short answers test, a problem exam, or a combination of the former.
The student will pass the course if the REG is equal or greater than 5,0 points over 10. The
student that fails the regular exam has to attend the make-up exam.
First call grade
The
grade of the first call is calculated as the maximum of the continuous evaluation grade (CEG) and the regular examination grade (REG)
Second call grade (Make-up exam)
A make-up exam is offered for
those that have not reached the course requirements in the first call. The
format and requirements are the same than those of the regular exam.
Ethical commitment
The Center is both a military academy and a university center, and the student must therefore comply with the obligations imposed by both institutions.
As a university student, he/she must "abstain of the use of fraudulent means, or cooperation with, in any examination, deliverable, or official document from/to the university" as stated in the Statute
of the University Student ("Estatuto del Estudiante Universitario"), approved by the Royal decree 1791/2010 of 30 December, in article 12, point 2nd.
As a military student, he/she "will fulfill with accuracy his duties and obligations promoted by a feeling of honor, […]" as stated in the Military Career Law ("Ley de la Carrera Militar"), in its fifteenth rule.
If an unethical behavior is detected (either copy,
plagiarism, use of unauthorized electronic devices, or any other mean) in any examination or deliverable, during continuous evaluation, all the students involved in the deed will be awarded a 0.0 grade in that test (either theoretical or practical). If unethical behavior is detected in a regular or make-up exam, the students involved in the deed will be awarded a 0.0 grade in said call. |
